Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I have a dry mouth. Can you give me some tips to minimize this condition?
A: We have patients here in our clinic who consult us regarding their problem of having a dry mouth. To keep your mouth moist, our Ontario Dentistry experts suggest some tips that you can practice to minimize your dry mouth and loosen mucus.
- Drink water frequently everyday and east moist foods or soft foods at room temperature.
- You can also avoid some intakes that dries the mouth like commercial mouthwashes, beverages with high sugar content (coffee, tea, sodas) and those that are acidic (fruit juices), as well as alcohol.
To reduce irritation in your dry mouth, use a lip moisturizer, a toothbrush with soft bristles and use toothpaste that contains fluoride. Most especially, quit smoking and start living healthy.
